bmw x3 35i m sport with leatherette

Hi does anyone has an x3 35i m sport with black leatherette? How is the quality? Is it better than the x3 with standard seats? do you have any photos?

Yes, that's the combo it have. I have absolutely no concern recommending the vinyl. They look great and require zero maintenance. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Here is the picture. The texture on the vinyl matches the texture on the interior plastics nicely.

... and you don't have to do any maintenance unlike leather.

IMO, our X3 are premium but not luxury cars as such leather isn't a big deal... other may argue this point.

Yes the seats can get hot in direct sunlight but no more than leather would since the leather isn't perforated nor ventilated... the vinyl 'breaths' just as much as the leather too.

I was suprised how little the seats retained heat after you actually sit down.

You are correct that we spend a lot on these cars.

Leather would have bumped my purchase price from 65k to closer to 70k.

Our american friends get leather in the premium package we Canadians get the moonroof in our premium package... The moonroof isn't standard on our 35i's.

I still say our cars are premium.
